Playing with the real trains this week-will return to Tara junction over the weekend.

Tara junction. The evening shift crew are busy servicing and fuelling locomotives at the MPD, From the left we have spare locomotives-001,161+132,then 027,056 and 007 in the shed,084 and 123+122 outside the new fuelling point which has recently been fitted with LED lighting.

The only thing I’ll be doing with coaches is putting them behind an A class and fitting the appropriate era tail lamps to complete the train.

Bus Eireann SE. Finally gotten around to replacing the wheels on my SE fleet of buses on Tara junction, Ballina based SE31,32,48 and 49 are seen here undergoing work, Thank you to Martin Hewitt who recommended the herpa wheels for the replacement which I think makes a big improvement to the coaches-delighted with the results.

Class 47 on empty cartics from Leeds and a class 31 with Caroline pass and overtake the class 45 on the loop on Ashburton grove.

Superb work -really makes the model stand out.

Locomotive 133 is seen here receiving attention at the fuelling point having been removed from the push pull set earlier and replaced by 130.
